Temple of the Dog

Temple of the Dog emerged in the early 1990s as a tribute to the late Andrew Wood, the frontman of Mother Love Bone. By the time of the live recording on September 4, 2011, during the PJ20 festival at Alpine Valley, the band was celebrating the legacy of their self-titled debut album released in 1991. This album is particularly significant as it featured the iconic track "Hunger Strike," showcasing the powerful collaboration between Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder. Although the band's original run was brief, the 2011 performance marked a rare reunion, highlighting the influence of Temple of the Dog on the grunge and rock scenes. The concert not only served as a retrospective of their seminal work but also reaffirmed their lasting impact on music, particularly as members continued to shape the industry through their respective bands such as Pearl Jam and Soundgarden.
